814CE-BTOP

Taylor 814ce Special Edition Blacktop Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Taylor 814ce Special Edition Blacktop Acoustic Electric Guitar enhances the renowned 814ce model with a captivating black colour treatment on the top, adding a fresh visual appeal to this flagship Taylor guitar. Known for its exceptional tonal qualities, the 814ce boasts a blend of top-end clarity, warmth, and well-balanced sound across the entire frequency spectrum.

This special edition guitar features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid Indian rosewood back and sides, creating a versatile tonal profile characterized by crisp trebles, rich lows, and a slightly scooped midrange that leaves room for accompanying instruments. Taylor's groundbreaking V-Class bracing design enhances volume, sustain, and note-to-note harmony up the neck, making this guitar an excellent choice for recording applications.

In addition to its tonal excellence, this guitar offers enhanced playing comfort with a radius-style rosewood armrest. The special edition model also includes premium appointments, such as Hard Rock maple body binding, West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard binding, black and maple purfling with rosewood top edge trim, a green abalone single-ring rosette with a bound soundhole, smoked nickel tuning machines, a rosewood pickguard, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, Element fretboard inlays in mother-of-pearl, and a full-body gloss finish.

Includes Taylor hardshell case.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.

If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
